has Killed more soldiers than have ever
fallen in battle, got the best Of him and he
went to the dogs rapidly. Finally he
threw up his position fl the army, de-
serted his wife, and for years nothing was
heard Of him. At last news came to the
poor woman that the worthless wretch
was dead, and after time she married
another officer, and they moved out to his
station at one Of the far western posts. In
the meantime it seems chat her first hus-
bnnd was not dead, but after years OF de-
bcuchery and wandering reformed. He
then began to mike inquiries for the
worann he had deserted. Nothing was

every sea; they cultivate the ambitions.

IN the same forms. Freedom, peace, in
duStry and commerce are their common
idols. They are, as t. origin ut least
the same breed OF mon; they use the
same language, submit themselves to the
same laws. These two great nations,
therefore, be supposed to have favora-
Die application. They are not near
enough to have their differences en-
venomed by the fierce passion of family
quarrcls-they are too near to be the
victims of hopeless misunders landings

resort to arms these two should; if they
cannot, the disarmament. Of nations and

The promise tuGt there is in this pros
pcct gives interest to the dcputation of
distinguished EngiShmcn who have
come hlther to memorabilia the President
on this subject, and to give at least the
moral assent OF n division OF the British
people to the action hitherto taken by
Congress III proposing that our Govern
ment shall cndcavor to make treaty
with the British Government for the
submission to arbitration of all future
differences that get beyond the scope of
diplomacy. Nations should assimilate
Their conduct to that which is detected
by the instinct of individuals. Barbar-
Gus men, the ignorant, the brutal, the

selves upon their physical force and
their readiness to use it. Every differ

prone to this conduct; but they will still

some ultimate point OF passion rarely
reached. Nations do the same in par
but should be yet more logically the
same as they rise in the scale of civiliza-
ton. Civilized countries have minimized

rational remedies may be carried vet

AS shirts began to be cut low it wa,

some one conceived the idea of showing

Idle Money.

There are 500, 900, 900 in the treasury

idle money is not only earning no inter.

The surplus can now be released into
the channels OF trade in only ono way

this there is ample warrant in law. The
time has come when the administration
will be justified in extending its bond

can make saving in interest by buying.

state OF things should exist. "Unneccs

Ready for the President aud III. VIE.

The White House rooms have been
dressed in their winter costumes, and
everything is now in readiness for the re
turn Of the President and Mrs Cleveland.
The carpets have all been laid, curtains
hung, the furniture covers removed and the
rooms thoroughly cleaned Very little
painting or repairing has been done, as cx.
tcnsive improvements in this respect were
recently made. New carpets have been
laid In the East room and Blue parlor, and
some of the bedroom furniture has been re.
covered. A new central sofa or divan for
the centre of the East room has been ordered
by Col Wilson, and will be here in about
q month. 1t will be upholstered In old gold
plush to match the other furniture of the
room. The exterior of the White House
will not be painted, as this was done last
year, and 1t is only necessary about once in
four years. 1t Is probable, however, that
th1 fire department will be requested soon
to send up an engine to wash Off the dust
that has collected on the front portico
during the summer. - Washington Star.

The story of IL Policy.

The Valley Mutual Life Association,
of Virginia, began business September
3D., 1878. Guarantee fund, invested in
bonds and mortgages (first lien on real
estate), $l08,O0O.
The Valley Mutual Life Association of
Virginia is the largest and the leading
Life Association in the South. Over
one million of dollars has been paid in
cash to the families Of deceased mem
bers.
The cheapness of its plan is demon
strated by the experience of those who
arc insured. In illustration of this fact,
we take Policy No. 3, held by Mr. w. p.
Tams, Cashier of the Augusta National
Bank, Staunton, Va, Policy issued
September 23, 1878, 81, ,000-conse-
qucntly it has shared every cost that has
come against the Company. The entire
cost to Mr.. Tams in eight years and six
months, Membership Fee, ANIMALS, and
Mortality payments, has been but $40. ~,
or an average annual cost of 1928. A.
the date of this insurance MIR. Tams was
27 years of age.
4 policy of even amount and date in
one OF the most popular Old Line com.
pauics on the ordinary life plan, payable
at death only, would have cost him

5l22.3l in favor OF tho Valley Mutual.

Got Back &" IiS Owners.
Troy, ALA, October 22.-A curious
story about a watch has inst developld d
here. Twenty years ago Mr.. George
Etheridge who lived III the upper part
OF this county, treated himself to fine
gold watch, for which he paid Sl9J. He
took it home, and his tather told hin
that inaSmuch as he had invested so
much IN watch that it would be a good
idea to take down the makers name and
number, which he did, without ever
thinking that that little precaution would
ever avail anything. He kept it untiI
1876, when Il laborcr on his place took
advantage OF his absence one day, broke
INTO his house, and stole the watch and
chain and skipped out. The thief went
down INTO Dale county, and in short
time got into trouble. In order t.
evede the clutches of the law, lie laid
out IN piece OF woods, and while there
he lost his stolen prize, and in short
time left for the West. In 1882, wIlr
Mr.. Mctcalf, who lives near Dalcyilip,
was shrubbing piece of second years
land, lie found the watch and related the
circumstances to several of his neigh
bors, but could find no owner for the
property. The watch lad been lying IN
the woods six years, and was in u bad
Tx. Mctcalf carried it to icwclcr in
Eutaula and had it repaired, and took il
home with him and kept it until last
Saturday, In the carly part of the week
MIR. a. Haley, Of this city, who is a
brothcr.in-law of Mr.. Etherdgc heard
something that induced him to wire MIR.
Etheridgc, ut Evergreen, ID come over;
that lie thought he could put him on the
track OF his lost watch. Nh Ethcridge
arrived in the city and went to Mr.
Mctcalf's, described the watch, gave the
nu Der and the makers name, paid

out Corners.

Combinations are the order Of the Cav,
and the last one recorded is an immense
sugar "trust" to rob the people by
forcing up the price OF sugar The
Philadelphia RccOIi has the following
III explanation Of the conspiracy: For
nearly year cnorts have been put forth
and negotiations have been in progress
by the sugar rctiners of New York and
Boston to form n combine, or trust,
whereby the production of each refinery
coull be regulated, and, if necessary, a
suspension of work be ordered, should
the aggregate production exceed the re-
qulremcnts of the domestic trade. 1t is
understood that the trust has not been
finally formed az yet, but that the ar
rangements Will be completed soon, and
the Philadelphia rctincries sympathze
with the movement. The owners of the
various rCtincriC5 are now engaged in
taking an account of stock preparatory
to the settlement of the deal. As re-
suit of the proposed combination or
trust, prices have advanced in this city
within the past forty eight hours to IL
figure Which Is considered heavy in the
trade. On Wednesday morning granu-
lated sugar, which is the standard, was
quoted at &. cents per pound. Yoster-
day afternoon the closing price was g.
cents per pound. The production OF
the retincrics of this city is about 5000
barrels per day. The increase in price
occasioned by tho proposed combination
amounts to about 75 cents per barrel
A. result Of tho new trust, the retailers
will pay about $3,700 more for the pro
lection of the reiners of this ci9y to-day
than they would have paid on tuesday
last The retail price OF sugar, as taken
from the Grocors' Association announce
ment on Monday morning last, fixed the
price at 7 cents per pound. 1t will
probably be 8 cents on Monday next.
The proper and only conclusive answer
to this combination of rascality is to put
refined sugars on the free list. The
people have rights which monopolists
must be forced to respect. The free list
is the only panacea for the ills OF
monopoly.
